Soybean meal is 18% protein; cornmeal is 9% protein.
\n" ); document.write( " How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 360 pound
\n" ); document.write( " mixture that is 17% protein?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of soy
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(360-x) = amt of corn
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ".18x + .09(360-x) = .17(360)
\n" ); document.write( ":
